Recommendation for Leak Detection Expert

Hi all – Major leak in a townhouse and don’t know where it’s coming from. Several things have already been tried. There’s no obvious place it’s coming from and several ‘experts’ and ‘professionals’ have been stumped. Anyone used a leak detection expert? Have contact of a good one? Thanks much!

We hired Catherine Paplin when our newly renovated townhouse was being destroyed by a leak. She is an expert in her field and works methodically and tenaciously to find the problem. I wish that we had hired her much sooner. Her knowledge of how old buildings are put together is amazing. If your leak turns out to be a problem with the exterior (as ours turned out to be), I would also recommend the contractor she found for us to fix everything.

I’m not vouching for this company, I don’t even know them, but no kidding I saw their truck on the BQE today and thought of this post! American Leak Detection Let me know what your experience was like if you use them. Good luck. Steam_man
